Many students and instructors are agitating a proposal to elect the student representatives of the Athletic Board for a longer term. It has been shown by long experience that the best of students are of little real value to the board before the middle of their terms of office. During the football season, when the business of the board is most serious, it is handicapped by an entire new student representation.
The students on the board last year were conscientious, and after they became familiar with conditions, had the fullest respect of the faculty members, and their opinions were always respected. But, they were not familiar with conditions until near the end of the year.. Of course the personnel of the Board must change, but if half changed at a time, and the term of election were for two years instead of one, the real value of student representation would be much increased.
The time for a change is now before the campaign begins. Instead of choosing four men for one year let two be chosen this fall for a term of one year, and two for a two-year term. In this way the board will always have two students of experience, and the interests of everybody will be much better served.
The support of the voluntary assessment is proving all that the most enthusiastic promoters of the scheme could hope for. From a purely business standpoint, no student can afford to turn it down. It's a matter of economy to the students in general, and of greatest convenience to the University interests affected.
Now is the time for the laggards to pay up on the voluntary assessment, in order to get the full benefit of the athletic season tickets. The number that has not paid is no larger than was expected, but it is time for the number to begin a rapid decrease.
Step up and pay your two plunks, and get a pass to all the
important University events of the year. Isn't five cents cheap enough for a football game, a debate or a concert?
Every loyal student will pay the voluntary fee this week—and be rewarded for his promptness with the benefit of the Athletic season tickets.
"The mosquitoe air a curious anymal—bein' part bird, part devvil and part itch."-Bolivar Brown.
They Sharpen 'Em.
They were sitting on the steps of Green Hall this morning, and the conversation turned to mosquitoes. "I've heard that if you didn't fight 'em, they wouldn't bite," said the Freshman. "Nothing in that," said the Sophomore. "What you want to do is to put a piece of watermelon rind on the foot of your bed and they'll all flock to that."
"Say, I heard the queerest thing this morning," interrupted the Freshman. "A fellow down at the house was lying awake last night sprinkling 'em with coal oil as they come around, and he kept hearing a funny rasping sound. Finally he lighted the gas, and found about a dozen mosquitoes whetting their bills on his razor strap. He had to lock the strap in his trunk before he could sleep a wink."

If you haven't any particular sort of suit in mind, suppose you drop around at your leisure and see suits that have you in mind. If you're a young man, you'll get "chummy" right off the reel with

Just and justly for chaps around maturity. Made a great deal better, styled a mighty sight smarter, but in price not at all higher than the "almosts" of designers, who try to make the same models do for old and young men.
